Someone's spreading it a bit thick. I've subscribed to Microsoft's 
Insider group, which is how to download the technical releases for 
review. I've installed a couple of the releases in virtual machines to 
test and other than to browse or email you don't need to be online to 
use it. I can say that Win-10 has reverted the desktop style to be much 
more like Win-7 rather than Win-8. Microsoft does have a full-scale 
monitoring program which sends them live feedback as you use the tech 
releases so, for this reason it is best to stay online for them to 
retrieve this live feedback. This live feedback is also a good reason 
not to use it to do any online banking or anything else handling any of 
your personal information.
I haven't tried any assistive software beyond a bit of enlargement in 
the tech releases and it would probably be a grand idea for those who 
rely on specialized AT to give it a whirl and give your feedback to 
Microsoft. The tech releases aren't really dependable enough to use as 
your primary system yet. There are some bugs to work out, which is why 
the production release of Win-10 won't be released until later this 
year. If you want to register for the Insider's group and try the review 
releases of Win-10, it's best to install it in virtual machine programs 
or if you have a spare computer with decent hardware you could perform 
full installs on that. The intro link to the Insider group is 
https://insider.windows.com/. They've also just announced a test release 
of Win-10 for mobiles if anyone is into evaluating that.
